Last night right after birth



This morning after some sleep

In Labor

We went in and had an amnio and the baby's lungs are mature. We went to AF to be induced and are currently waiting for the baby to be delivered. Contractions are strong and regular, but not enough for an epidural yet. We expect that the baby will come sometime early morning. we'll keep you posted. We made it past Christmas!

10 Days

So we saw the Maternal Fetal Medicine Doctor today and things look good. Debra will have an amniocentesis on Jan 2nd and then if the baby's lungs are ready will be induced that day.

Merry Christmas!

Back Home

We are back home. The doctors let Debra come home for now. They finally figured out what is going on and are not as concerned about it now. She will still deliver early, right now it should be the 26th or later, but they don't expect any problems with the baby or her. Thanks for all your prayers.

Let Me Amend That

Pray that Debra and the baby will be healthy and recover quickly if he needs to come on Monday.

We Need Some Prayers

Debra has been in the hospital since Thursday. Most of you know she has had a lot of complications with this pregnancy and things are getting worse. If things don't turn around real soon we will be having the baby on Monday. That's only 35 1/2 weeks so everyone pray that we can make it to at least 37 weeks. She is in AF room 207.
